Swatchins

Subtitled "I Though That My Other Aromaleigh Order Was The Last, But It Turns Out That This One Is My Final Order".

Only ordered four shadows because most of the colors that I wanted were already out of stock.  Tiem to swatch these bad boys.

*This is the order in which I swatched them, so I won't relabel each photo.







If you look at this picture reeeeally closely you can see some of the multi-colored sparkles in Dragon and Verdant Wisp.

In the following pictures, the shadows are over TFSI and the glitter is over Pixie Epoxy.









Look at those blue sparkles in Verdant Wisp.  If I was a gentleman I would say it gives me a bit of a boner, but thankfully I'm a lady, and therefore too good for that kind of language.

I think Shakeitup is my favorite of these colors; it looks pink in the pot and with flash, but on my skin it's more of a flesh-toned glitter, making it strangely wearable.  I even wore it to church yesterday!  It's that family friendly.

Catch-up Part 2

HO YUSS!  More face time to make up for a month-long case of the lazies.

Used an eyeshadow from Kohl's (I think the color was Glamourazzi or something, looks a little like Fyrinnae Meerkat or something) and some no-name drugstore shadows in pale pink and cream.

The eyeliner was supposed to be purple, but it actually looked blue when I put it on.  The camera was pretty accurate this time around.





---

Olives in the navy MMMM!





---

Bright and shiny!  Slaved over a hot set of makeup brushes after seeing this.





My liquid lining skills are slowly improving :D



---

I remember this one!  AL Cat's Pajamas and TANF Earl Grey (a neutral matte grey).





---

Can't quite remember what I used; it looks like some sort of green, maybe TSS Vintage Advantage or something.





---

I should finally be caught up now, aside from today's makeup.  So satisfying.

It's been such a long time

THINK I SHOULD BE GOOOOOIIIIIN!

It's been almost a month since I've talked at you people!  I've rather missed blogging and wearing makeup regularly.  I just haven't had much mojo lately, but that's probably because I've decimated last month's mojo supply and have had to borrow from this month's stock.  Such is life.

First look:  birthday eyes!







Random peachy-blue look, aka 'why can't I make my eyeliner meet my lashline?'





Trying out my newish liquid liner when we went to the opening night of Inception.




Playing with some of my newer colors and stuffingtons.





Some mo' leequeed liner, just to see if things improved at all.





My Aromaleigh order YAAAAY!  I wanted to sqeeze in some colors from the Victoria's Revenge collection; unfortunately Mania's Locus was already gone when my order came through, but whatevah.  AH DO WHAT AH WANT.


All swatches are over TFSI.


Starting at the top, from left to right:  Cat's Pajamas, Private Lunacy, Cricket, Alyssum, Brazen & Bitter, Infernal Chaos, Cyanide Sorrow


Over some Pixie Epoxy we has Brazen & Bitter, Cyanide Sorrow (I think), Private Lunacy (SPARKLES) and Cricket.



Natural light



Flash



Look at those mutha-uckin sparkles, and the way Cricket looks like the bastard lovechild of a lime and a golden statue.  Hot diggity.



There'll be another post tomorrow with more makeurp pictures, mark my words and mark them well, perhaps in permanent ink.
